auto tranny damage?
my girl just f---ed up her auto tranny 2001 prelude with a 75 shot of nitrous. i was in the car and she was driving "normally" while racing and beating an eclipse gts. so is a shot of nitrous good for our cars?

Rep Power: 0 It isn't good, but if done properly and used responsibly you should not have a problem. I have no idea what happened with your girlfriend's car but N2O is perfectly safe.

Rep Power: 0 A shot of nitrous is good for our cars if used properly and the right amount is used. I wouldn't recommend a 75 shot, though... You plannin' on taking away the nitrous from your girl?

Rep Power: 351 you girlfriend was drivingin "normally" WHILE racing...LOL
the Nitrous is fine for our cars you just need to watch how you use it. I would go with a 50shot and anything higher i would start worring about internals IMO

Rep Power: 0 If you have a manual and use nitrous, your clutch is going to wear out a lot quicker than if you weren't using nitrous. The rate depends on how frequently it's used of course.
Same goes for the auto.
Honda makes these parts to withstand a certain amt of power. Basically, probably just a tad more power than stock. So, yeah, you start ringing a part with an extra 50hp over what it was designed for and something is going to give.
